Storyline via Hallmark:
"A newly engaged woman visits her aunt in New England before Christmas to clear her head after reluctantly accepting her boyfriend’s proposal. While there, she meets a local and they begin to fall for each other. Her aunt believes it’s God’s way of “winking” at her and devises a plan to bring them together. Inspired by a true story."

My Take:
"A Godwink Christmas" is a heartwarming story of faith and Devine providence. It will not only touch your heart, but inspire you to look for Godwink moments in your own life!

Storyline via Hallmark:
"The creator of a new social media app that pairs busy singles with “strictly platonic” partners for all the social commitments of the holiday season is matched with a young advertising executive looking for the right woman on his arm to impress his boss. Everything goes exactly as planned until the one thing neither of them expected happens, and they find themselves falling for one another."

My Take:
This is such a wonderful time to re-watch this movie - especially since Jen Lilley just shared exclusively to People.com a very special announcement - she and her husband are expecting a baby girl in August! The couple are already fostering to adopt two sons, who are 2 years old and 11 months old! I am so thrilled for Jen, her husband, and their boys! What a joyful time this is for their growing family! Jen looks absolutely radiant!

Storyline via Hallmark: Jamie Spellman struggles to balance her dream of painting with the reality of such a difficult career choice, while having to choose between two men who seem perfect, but for very different reasons.

As she considers giving up on her artistic dreams, Jamie paints a vision board that brings her success and love - only to discover that the mystery man in her painting isn't who she thinks.

Storyline via Hallmark: Vikki runs the community garden, which Chace, a developer, wants to replace with condos. Wanting to prove he’s not a villain, Chace shows Vicki the pride he and his workers have in their buildings. In turn, Vikki gets Chace to plant his own garden plot. But despite seeing the other’s viewpoint, they remain at an impasse. Then Vikki crashes a gala to ask the Mayor to declare the garden a landmark, and there she and Chace dance, enthralled with each other. Sill Chace’s bulldozers roll. Hopefully he’ll find a way to hurtle their impasse, which could be in the sky.

By now, I'm sure most of you have heard the heart-wrenching news regarding Lori Loughlin (Hallmark's "When Calls the Heart"). Unfortunately, she is one of many accused of being involved in a college admissions scam. Sadly, it has been difficult to watch as this news has developed throughout this week and the story repeats over and over on TV.

Since her indictment, Hallmark has parted ways with Lori, who we have watched in many of their films throughout the years, such as: "Meet My Mom," "Garage Sale Mysteries," "When Calls the Heart," "Northpole: Open for Christmas," "Homegrown Christmas," and more...

All current and future productions with Lori's involvement have been halted with Hallmark. Even "When Calls the Heart" has been pulled from airing Sunday night until they can figure out how to move forward with the show, without Lori.

This is truly a sad situation all around. For me, and for many of you, too, I'm sure Lori Loughlin will always be sweet Aunt Becky from "Full House." She's the one D.J. (Candace Cameron, at the time) and Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) could turn to whenever they were in any trouble, and I hope that family of friends and other cast members are there for Lori now, helping her and her family through this difficult time.

Lori has been one of my personal favorites to watch in all of her Hallmark movies, and although she has made this error in judgement, my heart goes out to her. It seems the media, celebrities, and pundits are so quick to condemn, and we have yet to even hear her side of the story. This is America where everyone is innocent, until proven guilty.

Hallmark's statement:
"We are saddened by the recent news surrounding the college admissions allegations. We are no longer working with Lori Loughlin and have stopped development of all productions that air on the Crown Media Family Network channels involving Lori Loughlin including "Garage Sale Mysteries," an independent third party production," Crown Media Family Networks said in a statement.

It's evident from their statement here and other responses, that this situation is breaking their heart, the same as it's breaking ours. Hallmark isn't only a network, it's a family.

Please know, I know Lori's actions (if all true) were wrong, but I'm reminded of the scripture, "For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God." (Romans 3:23)

I hope, with time, we can all extend them forgiveness and grace. I pray we can all come together, and lift Lori, and her family up in much needed prayer at this time. She has given us much joy with "Full House" and all her wonderful Hallmark movies. She has also extended great kindness to her fans via social media. I know I personally appreciated her following me on Twitter and her kind responses.

I hope in the spirit of "When Calls the Heart" and Hope Valley, we can all give Lori now our love, hope and prayers.
